🤖 AI, Pitches & Networking Magic

Rare Founders’ legendary open mic pitching and networking night returned with an AI twist, bringing together founders, investors, and innovators for an evening of connection and ideas. The event featured a fireside chat on AI trends with Chen Wang, Gen AI Experimentalist & CTO at Fifth Dimension AI, and Nicolas Klein, Co-Founder/COO/CPO at Singulate, fresh from their $2.3M raise.

The night mixed buzzing networking with the signature Rare Founders open mic format, where AI founders fundraising took the stage for one-minute pitches—complete with water guns for anyone running over time.

We were proud to partner with Safespace Plus as our Safety Partner, ensuring a secure and empowering environment for all attendees, and to host the night at BAM Karaoke Box London, Europe’s largest karaoke destination with 22 private rooms, cocktail bars, and a vibrant stage space.

It was an unforgettable evening of pitches, conversations, and community energy that left the UK startup scene buzzing.
